Question:
WLS and C-Sections????

I am pre-op but am planning on future pregnancies after WLS. I will need a c-section and I wonder if there are any possible complications from WLS and c-sections. THANKS for everyone's help in advance.    — Erin K. (posted on January 18, 2004)

I do not see how there could be complications arising between the two. The incision is in two different places. My concern would be the nutrition factor.

I had my son by c-section and future children will be born the same one (only 10.5 months to go before we can start trying again!). My surgeon said there wouldn't be a concern in regards to the two surgeries since they are in different locations. However, scar tissue can be weird and grow wildly, but even then he said it would just mean a slower c-section (to cut through extra tissue). The only concern is diet during pregnancy. I was told I would be consider "high risk" because of the surgery and would have more check-ups as a result.
